I feel like I’m always telling you how busy I am and I don’t have a lot to back it up with. For that matter, I’m always telling Moo that I haven’t gotten anything done and then I look at the list of things I’ve done in a day and I wonder where my brains are. So I thought I’d walk you through a day with me…

5:30AM – Get up, get dressed.5:50AM – Get Phoebe up and dressed and bottle6:15AM – Take Moo to train. We’ve only got one car and if I need to run errands, like yesterday, I have to take him in.7:20AM – Back at the house7:30AM – Feed Phoebe breakfast7:55AM – Use flashlight to evaluate pesky rash. Phoebe had a rash for a couple of days and was paranoid after call to pediatrician revealed that rash could be strep. However, rash is almost completely gone. Still mildly paranoid but will maintain vigilance.8:00AM – Phoebe’s nap time8:05AM – My breakfast8:20AM – Complete Insurance paperwork for Moo’s Mac that got zapped during the storm. Also includes printing out the receipt and finding and printing out the replacement value Mac information.9:00AM – Work on Blog post for biz blog.9:15AM – curse at Blogger because photos won’t upload9:20AM – decide to take break on Facebook AKA Time Sucker10:00AM – Back to blog post.

Decide to work on biz newsletter instead.4:30 PM – get text from Moo that Blogger seems to be working. Attempt work there again. Still acting weird, but much improved.4:50 PM – Realize that I need to leave in 10 minutes to pick up Moo. Rush around finding shoes and keys. Then make quick bottle and wake up Phoebe.5:05 PM – Run out to car. Put Phoebe in car seat, give bottle. Head off to MARTA.5:20 PM – DRAT! Trip to MARTA only takes 15 minutes. If I leave 5 later, it takes 45 minutes. 5:25 PM – Phoebe wants more bottle. Thank goodness I have spare in bag.5:55 PM – Moo gets in car.6:30 PM – home.

So that’s it. That’s what my errand days look like. Non-errand days are a lot like that too but without all the driving.

One observation: Why does my daughter almost always get sick right before a Mom’s club meeting? Yesterday, I was afraid she might still have something communicable and kept her home. Today, the rash is completely gone.

Stalk me!
